No mate, they're two different parts. The driveshaft consists of an outer and inner joint. The inner joint or entire joint are well expensive, around £600 from Honda. In most cases you can get away with replacing just the outer joint which is on the Jap Service parts link I've provided above.
The ball joints are an entirely separate part. Original DC5 ball joints are pretty much impossible to get hold of seemingly, I was told that Prelude BB6 ball joints are a like for like replacement and you should try and stick to Honda OEM for this part if you can. I'm getting some Prelude ones fitted to mine next week along with some other bushes and bits.
The buddy club ones are also ball joints but are aftermarket designed for lowered cars but you'll probably be fine with them.
